BaseView.PostEditor() Method

Saves the modified cell value to the data source. If the GridOptionsView.RowAutoHeight setting is disabled, the currently active cell editor remains opened.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool PostEditor()

VB.NET

Public Function PostEditor As Boolean

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the value has been successfully saved to the data source; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the PostEditor member must not be invoked for these Views. The PostEditor member can only be used with real Views that are displayed within the Grid Control. The real Views with which an end-user interacts at runtime can be accessed using the following methods.

• GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
• GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
• GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
• the sender parameter of View specific events;
• GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.

The code sample below illustrates how to save the value of a CheckEdit to the data source.

C#

RepositoryItemCheckEdit checkEdit = new RepositoryItemCheckEdit();
checkEdit.EditValueChanged += repositoryItemCheckEdit_EditValueChanged;
gridControl1.RepositoryItems.Add(checkEdit);
gridView1.Columns["Marked"].ColumnEdit = checkEdit;

private void repositoryItemCheckEdit_EditValueChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    gridView1.PostEditor();
}

VB.NET

Private checkEdit As New RepositoryItemCheckEdit()
Private checkEdit.EditValueChanged += AddressOf repositoryItemCheckEdit_EditValueChanged
gridControl1.RepositoryItems.Add(checkEdit)
gridView1.Columns("Marked").ColumnEdit = checkEdit

private void repositoryItemCheckEdit_EditValueChanged(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    gridView1.PostEditor()
